The Global Health Bio – IT Conference-Expo & Nobel Forum took place in the northern province of Ninh Binh on June 16, with leading medical researchers and scientists from Vietnam, Sweden, the UK, Germany and Australia taking part.

The event focused its discussions on technological application in treating diseases, the process of approving Nobel prize in medicine with the participation of professors from Sweden’s Karolinksa Institute.

Apart from the goal of linking up domestic and foreign universities, hospitals and research institutes in medical care, education and technology, the event afforded leading scientists at home and abroad a chance to share experience and discuss ways to earn Nobel laureates in medicine.

Seminars will also be organised on the topics of genes in human reproductive studies, prognosis in big data era: opportunities and challenges, hereditary epidemiology of Parkinson disease, among others.

On the sidelines of the event, the organising board will hold a ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of Dinh Tien Hoang Institute of Medicine, a forum on Nobel laureates in physiology and medicine, debut the Association of Vietnamese Alumni at the Karolinksa Institute, and a race walk for global health.
